Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours Jim. I believe also, that they tend to grow bigger than some other strains and do better in deep cold lakes, than they do in smaller rivers.

Fred.... Nice goin'. But, that poor trout looks like she tangled with a shop vac. I've nailed trout , although only very occasionally, on shiners fishing for bass, 5" to 7" monster baits. A couple of browns, but many more rainbows. Then got accused of fish tales. I have a hard time believing ANY trout manages to reach maturity feeding on tiny gnats & ants, no seeums and such. Don't blame em for sucking down another fish once in awhile.

Thanks Maxx. She must have just spawned cause her belly was all stretched out. Probably 5lbs before spawning. They definitely eat shiners. I've caught them on crankbaits and Spoons when they were feeding on schools of baitfish.

Well Fred, I hope some of the little ones survive, they've got at least one parent with good genetics...

When Trout get larger, their diet will include larger prey to lnclude fish and other vertebrates.

Maybe Steve, but it was Red and Black. It just spent too much time in the sun.

Any hat with color fade is a fine hat indeed!
